Hello,

Can you suggest me a Wifi Router under Rs. 3000 (preferably linksys, netgear or dlink)........ with good user reviews and good service

I had shortlisted Linksys E1000 but its costing me around Rs 3500.....

Thanks

Under Rs 2500 will be more preferable. help required urgently

Can anyone please help me out here?

Get Linksys E1200 from Flipkart for Rs. 3076 - Flipkart: Cisco Linksys E1200 Wireless-N Router: Router

They also have E1000 but their price is again Rs. 3075 for it. In my city it is Rs. 2400.

One rupee difference between Linksys E1000 and E1200 on Flipkart. lol.

Most of the time.. PC peripherals are overpriced in flipkart. Better get it locally, if available.

Great then. I checked some routers locally and then checked flipkart prices. They were good 200-250 higher.

Okay, so whats the final verdict? Which one should I go for, given my budget and needs? Linksys WRT54gh is costing me around Rs 1850 locally and E1000 Rs 3000.
I haven't checked up the others.

Bad news. Shop says there will be delay in providing the product.
But I have more time to select. just so I don't get the wrong one

I shortlisted the following:-
  1. Linksys E1000(Its becoming a little too pricey :p)
  2. LINKSYS WRT120N
  3. D-Link DIR-615 Wireless-N 300 Router
  4. NETGEAR JWNR2000
  5. NETGEAR WGR614
  6. LINKSYS WRT54GH
  7. BELKIN BASIC MODEM ROUTER N150

So, which one should I completely avoid and which one should I be inclined to (if not E1000)
